On Feb. 28 at about 3 p.m., I stopped at a traffic light at 70th Street and East Kings Highway. A Caddo Parish sheriffs car pulled up next to me. She looked over at me so I checked to be sure that my mother and I both had our seat belts on; we did.

I pulled away from the green light, and the deputy put on her emergency lights and stopped me. I failed to ask why she was stopping me. My license plate was up to date, my safety inspection sticker was up to date, there was nothing obstructing my view, I wasn't speeding or driving erratically, there were no clouds of marijuana smoke emanating from the windows.
